I write fantasy novels with a touch of science fiction full of deep, immersive worlds, powerful characters, and magic that’s as organic as running or speaking. I draw a lot on #ecology with my secondary world setting, and I re-imagine traditional fantasy, building each culture from the ground up including #linguistics .
My stories often feature fierce sibling relationships, found family, strong friendships and light in the darkness.
What won’t you find? Very many swords, kingdoms, or knights.
I have two free novellas available as samples of my style, characters, and world:
Palon is a prequel novella for my #dragon rider novel Windward, and Prelude Cycle is set prior to my #epic #fantasy novel Between Starfalls with four short stories from each of the four main PoVs.

My novel Windward is a dragon rider novel like Pern, but the dragons have the more powerful weight in the bond, and both rider and dragon change each other through the bond.
My multi-PoV epic fantasy series Children of the Nexus begins with Between Starfalls and slowly leans into blending in the sci-fi elements, and opens up slowly to the wider world, exploring the effects of historical events and cultural miscommunications.
